What happens

Tomb Raider is a 2018 action-adventure film directed by Roar Uthaug and written by Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Alastair Siddons, based on the Tomb Raider video game series. An American and British co-production, it is served as a reboot and the third installment in the Tomb Raider film series, which was based on the 2013 video game, with some elements of its sequel. The film stars Alicia Vikander as Lara Croft, who embarks on a perilous journey to her father's last-known destination, hoping to solve the mystery of his disappearance. Dominic West, Walton Goggins, Daniel Wu, and Kristin Scott Thomas appear in supporting roles. Principal photography took place from January to June 2017 at Warner Bros. Studios, Leavesden in Hertfordshire, England, and Cape Town, South Africa. The film was also shot on location across London, particularly East London. Tomb Raider was released in the United Kingdom on March 14, 2018, and in the United States on March 16, 2018, by Warner Bros. Pictures and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, making it the first Tomb Raider film not to be distributed by Paramount Pictures. The film received mixed reviews from critics and grossed $275 million worldwide, approximately the same unadjusted total as the 2001 film of the same name and more than its 2003 sequel, a figure considered its break-even point. A sequel was initially in development with Vikander set to return, but was cancelled in 2022 after MGM's rights to the Tomb Raider series expired, while Vikander stepped down from the role. Another reboot film, set to be part of a shared universe that will include a television series and a video game, is in development at Amazon MGM Studios. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
